Integrating Sandtray in Play Therapy into the 8 Phases of EMDR

Join us at Marshall's workshop in Austin, Texas for a 2-day immersive workshop on May 22-23, 2025, where you will experience how to integrate EMDR’s 8 phases with Sandtray Therapy in a personalized, creative, and deeply transformative way. This is not your typical workshop. It’s an intimate, hands-on experience designed to give you the tools and confidence to apply these two powerful modalities together.

Why This Integration is So Profound

When you integrate EMDR with Sandtray Therapy, you unlock a powerful approach that enables clients to process trauma and emotions that might otherwise remain out of reach, especially when those experiences are preverbal, occur during dissociative states, or are simply too overwhelming. The integration of Sandtray into each phase brings a profound depth and safety to the healing process. This workshop focuses on how to combine these two approaches, giving you ways to work safety effectively with your clients.

What Makes This Workshop Unique

Small, Intimate Group: We are limiting this workshop to only 15 participants, ensuring an interactive and personalized experience. You will get hands-on practice, personalized feedback, and direct support throughout the training.

Real-World Application: This workshop isn’t just about theory.  It’s about learning how to apply what you learn in your practice. Through experiential learning, you will see firsthand how integrating EMDR and Sandtray Therapy can enhance trauma recovery.

Marshall’s Workshop: The workshop is held in Marshall’s workshop, which feels like a Sandtray Sanctuary. This space fosters creativity, safety, and healing. It’s a nurturing environment where you can explore the integration of these two powerful modalities in a way that feels deeply connected. While we can’t guarantee Marshall’s in-person attendance, he often pops in when available, bringing his unique presence and wisdom to the space. Regardless of his attendance, you’ll experience the essence of his approach through the workshop's design and our experiential learning.
